re: Crammers "summer of 1998" environment.........

The Summer of 1998 twasn't exactly "the summer of love" for the OSX.

Bond Markets are the 800 lb gorilla.

per Cramer: "Bond market's getting scary. Real scary. "

...now Cramer is not prone to "understatements" - but, believe it or not; that is one.

Bond Market is sending 2 messages:

Inverted Yield Curve = Recession

Inflation + Recession - caused by Fed's inability to raise rates to levels necessary to stamp out inflation - because if they do; it will implode Derivatives/Markets and will bring Stagflation rolling over to Deflationary Meltdown of Markets.

Fed's conundrum = likliehood of LTCM x 5....ie: Deflationary Collapse/Meltdown of the Worlds Largest Credit & Debt Bubble in Modern History ...remember since 2000- the US has had to create $4 of Debt & Credit to generate $1 of GDP output, the US Consumer has no job growth, no income growth and no savings - and is at historic debt levels and the US has record deficits - with both State & Federal Tax Revenues about to implode...that is the ultimate max-margin unpayable IOU to future economic prosperity.

Deficits do matter.

Savings do matter.

Healthy US Dollar does matter.

Health of GM & GM Bonds do matter.

Fannie Mae does matter...and FNM is Enron/World Com.

...it just can not be publically acknowledged and for "now" - is too big to fail...because of the exponential rise in Derivatives since LTCM's Market led meltdown.

Bond Market Message ?

= SHORT nearly Everything...hedge currency risk/cash savings.

Bond Market messages are exponentially more important than messages from the Equity/Stock Market...or even Matt Who? , Don Coxe & T-Bone Pickens.

Oil, new paradigms or not... offers ZERO safety from coming Global Economic rollover....in fact; is in a classic Nasdaq Bubble tipping point potentially.

Of course for all of those playing the OSX New Paradigm Slots, or Peak Oil Keno....MACRO Economic's & the Message from the Bond Market matters not.... it's "gimmie the dice" & "baby needs a new pair of shoes" time Deja Vu ~

So "your" message is simple:

Roll Baby Roll ~
